Jonathan Heaton, born in 1857 in Payson, Utah, to English handcart pioneers William and Esther Heaton, became the patriarch of Moccasin through a life devoted to God, family, community, and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. After the Heaton family joined the United Order at Long Valley in Kane County, Utah, he took on responsibilities that included caring for large sheep herds, providing lumber for homes, and directing the cotton farm in Dixie. He worked tirelessly to establish orchards, fields, gardens, and herds, helped make Moccasin prosper, and was remembered as a fair-minded man of faith whose greatest accomplishment was his family. He fathered twenty-six children with his wives Clarissa Amy Hoyt Heaton and Lucy Elizabeth Carroll Heaton, and established a tradition of hard work, integrity, missionary work, and gathering that continued to bind his posterity together. Amy, born in 1860 and married to Jonathan in 1875 at the Endowment House in Salt Lake City, was remembered for endurance, grace, and affection, creating happy and secure homes whether in a wagon box in the United Order, a shanty at the cotton farm, or a spacious home in Alton, and later settling in 1901 at the Wild Rose Ranch near Alton while Lucy remained in Moccasin. Lucy, born in 1862 and married to Jonathan in 1878 at St. George Temple, became known as the matriarch of Moccasin, creating a Christ-centered home at the Big House that welcomed family, friends, dignitaries, and strangers, hosted school and church services, and helped build a loving and prosperous community. Together Amy and Lucy established two households of faith and two prosperous communities, and Jonathan's leadership, healing, and unity blessed his wives and children.
